Generator picks out from this those questions in the Quick Review that relate to efficiency and the answers to these are used to present a report back to the user once the review has been completed and committed.

In each area there is an additional free text input section so that the user can note down suggestions to implement efficiencies as they become apparent during the course of the review. The efficiency report will also include comments from the open-ended questions. Use these to capture thoughts; they do not influence the results of the review.

Generator now includes additional support for providers wishing to understand organisational efficiency and the role played by technology.

It helps providers address questions specifically focussed on efficiency.

29% of the questions from all the areas of the Quick Review have been designed to provide feedback on the organisation’s efficiencies status.  These have been tagged to inform the new efficiency report.

During the Quick Review process, the only difference the user will notice is a series of questions designed to encourage consideration of potential opportunities for improvement within organisation. In each area there is an additional free text input section so that the user can note down suggestions to implement efficiencies as they become apparent during the course of the review.
